Chapter 2008 The Scheme
Mike shifted his gaze somewhat unnaturally.
Just at that moment, Bella slowly came to her senses and recounted the whole story from beginning to end, finally bringing the matter to a complete closure.
After expressing her gratitude once again, Elisa and Gareth brought Bella back home.
They did not return to Wickam Manor. Naturally, they did not want to upset Julia.
Of course, the moment Elisa found out that Bella was all right, she immediately called Julia to a*sure her that all was well.
On the phone, Bella also a*sured Julia that she was fine. It was just that her phone had run out of battery. after returning from a business trip.
Julia did not doubt her. She just sighed in relief. “You, don’t try to show off by going on business trips. alone in the future… cough, cough… As a girl, you still need a man by your side.” She could not stop coughing as she spoke these few short sentences.
Bella laughed and spun a lie that she and another person had a project they needed to work on together. As such, she would not be able to return to Wickam Manor for a few days.
On the other hand, Elisa did notice something was off and quickly asked, “Grandma, did you catch a seasonal cold? Why do I feel like you’ve been coughing all day?”
Julia sighed, “Perhaps it’s because I’m getting old. Come back with Bella another day. It’s nothing serious.”
Elisa agreed without giving it much thoughts
The elderly lady reminded the three of them to take care of their health while they were out and about and not to neglect everything else when they got busy with work.
“Especially you, Liz. Out of all of you, I worry about you the most. You work so relentlessly. There’s a saying. ‘Doctors don’t treat themselves. As a doctor, how can it be good if you always have gastric issues?”
With a smile, Elisa promised not to have any more stomach troubles.
Bella also stepped in to ease the situation. “Grandma, rest a*sured. I will definitely help you keep a close eye on my sister-in-law… I mean, Elisa.”
At home, she was so used to calling Elisa her sister-in-law that it almost slipped out of Bella’s mouth and made the atmosphere a bit awkward for a moment. Only Gareth was secretly laughing.
After some more idle chatter, they hung up the phone, and the three of them went home together.
Only when Elisa returned home did she feel completely at ease.
She tirelessly prepared a medicinal diet to nourish the two of them.
